Paul Potts & Piano
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Paul Potts, the talented tenor from Wales, is realising his dream. After being bullied and mocked at school, he found refuge in the local church choir. When he heard La Bohème at the age of 16, he fell in love with opera and embarked on a passionate romance that led him on a turbulent journey. He eventually won the first season of Britain’s Got Talent in 2007, changing his life forever. In the same year, Paul Potts released his multi-platinum debut album »One Chance«, which reached the top of the charts in 13 countries. He appeared on »The Oprah Winfrey Show«, brought Times Square to a standstill and announced a worldwide arena tour. His fame stretches from Seoul to New York and from Sydney to Hamburg..

Paul Jacobs / Organ Concert
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Not only is »Livre du Saint-Sacrement« the final and most extensive organ work by Olivier Messiaen, it also marks the grand summation of his entire oeuvre, with the French composer delving right back to his early beginnings. Like his first composition for organ, »Le banquet céleste«, its subject matter is the Holy Communion. Though unequivocally theological, this music also has an overwhelming inner depth. It is an immense source of fascination and sensuality. And, lasting some two hours in total, it is also both a revelation and something of a challenge. The American organist Paul Jacobs, who has been described by the Washington Post as one of the »greatest living virtuosos« and is the first organist ever to win a Grammy, is now headed for the Elbphilharmonie. Since 2002, he has performed the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen in marathon concerts across various US cities, each lasting an inordinate number of hours. No question, then, that Jacobs is just the right man for this quite daunting undertaking.

Manfred Honeck & Paul Lewis
Paul Lewis and the BRSO had actually planned to make up for Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in these concerts, which was canceled due to the pandemic. Due to a vertebral injury, the British pianist is now playing Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto – instead of the young Norwegian’s unabashedly romantic piece, a work that opens the door to the Romantic era. And it would be hard to find a better interpreter than the proven Beethoven specialist Paul Lewis. In conductor Manfred Honeck’s conception, Schulhoff’s Five Pieces for String Quartet will be brought to life with a more expressive, or, to be precise, more Dadaist character: rhythmically concise, ecstatically pulsating – a playful new territory for the BRSO musicians. And, indeed, every concert that includes the Eroica is bound to be one of the highlights of an orchestral season.

Paul Lewis / Schubert’s Sonatas / Piano masterpieces
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)
Franz Schubert held the torch at Ludwig van Beethoven's funeral. It was a symbolic moment – the younger composer was taking over the Promethean flame from a genius. Despite the pathos, it is an accurate association when comparing their symphonies or quartets. However, Schubert did not take over the flame for long – he died less than two years later. In the last months of his life, he created a series of masterpieces, among them three piano sonatas. After their publication, they were heavily criticised for departing from Beethovenian patterns. However, inspiration does not mean imitation after all! Schubert's style is gentle and less definite. Every play is lined with melancholy; contemplation borders on the sublime and ecstasy. Very few people can portray the entire universe of these three sisters' works as aptly as Paul Lewis. It has to be experienced. Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: approximately 140 minutes
